Electoral Finance Bill: English Has
Problem With New Chris Knox CD - National Party
Deputy Leader Bill English says Labour has blatantly broken
its own rules on providing home addresses on election
advertising after describing National's concerns about the
issue as 'paranoid'. Mr English says National has obtained a
Labour CD being distributed in Wellington this week. As
campaign material, it features an authorisation, but it
breaks Labour's new laws because no home address is given.
